The List for Thursday, May 18th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle almost met the same fate as Harry’s mom Princess Diana.  At least that’s what Harry’s people are saying. On Tuesday night, Meghan received an award at a ceremony in New York City.  Meghan, Harry, and Meghan’s mom left the ceremony at about 10:00 p.m., got into an SUV and drove off, with a police escort. The paparazzi followed, and things got dangerous.  Harry’s rep says, quote, “This relentless pursuit, lasting over 2 hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and 2 NYPD officers.” Sources say photographers were driving on the sidewalk, running red lights, and driving the wrong way on one-way streets.

Alec Baldwin’s next movie will be “Kent State”, about the deadly confrontation between Ohio National Guardsmen and student protesters during the Vietnam War.  Interesting choice for a guy known for his own gun tragedy.  Alec will play Kent State president Robert White.

Jelly Roll tells The New York Times newspaper that he used to tell his daughter’s friends that he drew his tattoos on when he came to see them. “When my daughter was in kindergarten, it was so funny. All of her little friends would go, “What is all that stuff on your face?” I was like, “You won’t believe this, I only draw this on when I come see y’all so y’all are excited about it.” So they believed it, right? It was so precious.”

A new Pink Panther film is in the works with Eddie Murphy in talks to play the iconic inspector Jacques Cluseau.  The movie will see a human cast break an animated Pink Panther out of prison in order to complete another heist.

Yesterday we reported that Arnold is hanging up the terminator, but the one roll he really wants to revisit. Conan the Barbarian.  There’s been back and forth as far as the rights…and scripts for the last 10 years and whispers of Netflix picking it up.  At this point we’re at a wait and see.
